Department seeks comment on annual ITIP
public-comment period is July 1-31

The draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) is a list of proposed projects for the next seven years, and will be open for public comment starting Wedneday, July 1. Here's a link to the document, and also to an interactive project map.

Programmed improvements to highways, bicycle routes, airports, pedestrian projects, freight, safety projects, bridges and public transportation are listed in the draft ITIP. You can help by telling friends and family of this opportunity to help shape Idaho's future — all transportaion stakeholders are encouraged to partcipate.

ITD is also offering an interactive map that allows residents to learn about projects that are planned in their areas. To view go to itd.idaho.gov

Comments will be taken from July 1-31. All comments will be reviewed, incorporated into the ITIP where appropriate, and responses will be sent in August, once the comment period is done.

Comments can be e-mailed to me at ITDCommunication@itd.idaho.gov.

The draft ITIP document lists projects by highway route and location, identifies projected years for right-of-way acquisition, preliminary engineering, construction and estimated project costs. It also lists local construction projects that are federally funded. Public comments will help the department determine if proposed projects meet the department’s three main objectives of improving safety, mobility and economic opportunity.

Production of the ITIP is a year-round process that relies on input from elected officials, citizens, tribal governments, other state and federal agencies, Idaho’s metropolitan planning organizations, the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council, and other interested organizations. After approval by the Idaho Transportation Board, the ITIP is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.
